HC Deb 24 February 1916 vol 80 cc810-1
39. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can say how it happened that no relief has been given to the men on His Majesty's ship "Albion" since the beginning of the War; and, in view of the fact that the naval barracks are filled to overflowing, would it be possible in this and in some other cases to effect a change?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Reliefs for ships long abroad are arranged so far as military exigencies permit. Those longest from home are the first considered, and His Majesty's ship "Albion" will receive attention in her turn.
